Post all "Knock Off Wedding Dress" questions/comments here

Just got pictures of my dress!  Anyone have any suggestions on things I should ask to be tweaked before its sent out?  I've already noticed that the lace peeking over the top of the neckline is uneven, so I'm going to ask for that to be trimmed down to not peek over at all.  I've also asked for the back of the dress to be a corset style, so will be asking to see a picture of that as well.  Overall, the color of the beading is much more gold than I would have liked, but its not a big deal... dress turned out great!

It looks nice. Besides the gold beading it looks very much like the inspiration. Beautiful dress!

I really like the detail and the length of the train. I know she mentioned to me that she was going to start showing the measurements with the pictures, so ask for those to ensure it's not too big which has been a common issue.

Ooh, thanks for that suggestion mocha.  It's looking a bit shapeless on that mannequin, I'm hoping that the back just wasn't laced up properly when the picture was taken. 

 

I'm really hoping that the camera is responsible for how gold the beading looks in the picture.  Guess I'll find out when it gets here!  Worst case, I'll just pick off the beading if its that bad when it arrives

Michelle,

I have ordered this dress and I was not happy with it. Basically it came too big and ruouching lay horizontally and loose ( maybe it appeared to be loose as it was too big).

Don't forget, chiffon goes not lay flat...

So, the dress is in the bottom of my closet and since then I ordered and received Maggie dress.

My experience was fantastic. Now I did know the dresses were knockoff and I had seen one of their dresses in person so, I had a little bit to go on but was still nervous. I ordered a maggie sotterro gown from inweddingdress.com and not only is it beautiful and well made but it came in early! I had the rush of 40 business days and I got it in 20!!! As long as you know the dresses are knock-off and are ok with that- this is soooo worth it!

Margaret -  Did you get this same dress from Babyonline?  Is this dress a Maggie?  I wasn't sure.

Monica Bridal sent me a picture of my dress today, I can't wait to get it! I hope it looks nice on, it looks nice in the picture I think. Very similar to the inspiration dress, flowers are a little different but that is to be expected, can't expect things like that to be exact!

badgergirl8 - it looks fabulous. I'm so glad they bought the black backdrop to really show off the dress.

thanks! From the pic it looks like they did a really nice job!  I really like the fullness in the bottom of the dress, the one on the model doesn't seem as full and when I tried it on at the bridal shop it did seem more full like the one MonicaBridal made.  I am a full figured but short girl so I'm hoping the dress still looks nice on my body type.  Can't wait to get it!
